Movies

Yeah, so I saw a lot of movies this weekend.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Mediocre, at best. Slow and dragged on. Shorten it to 2 hours and it's golden. It's not, so it fails.

Michael Clayton - Amazing. Everything about it is awesome. However, it's VERY complex and mind bending. You have to think, so be prepared. I still feel like I'm missing key details of exactly what happened. Gotta see it again.

Across the Universe - Perfect is one word that comes to mind. It just works. And, contrary to many people I bet, the movie is best viewed sober. Trust me.

Just watched An Education.
Vastly underrated. I loved it. Carey Mulligan was superb. Peter Sarsgaard played his role to near perfection. I have been to Pairs. I was well aware of how great of a city it is. But watching this movie somehow made me feel like I missed out a lot on it when I was there.
A great movie. Rich text. Jenny's father rocks.

It's a true story most people have already heard about. A guy goes hiking in Utah in 2003 and gets trapped in a canyon.

Why'd he stop making movies?

Robocop, Total Recall, Basic Instinct (which I finally saw a year ago), Showgirls, Starship Troopers, Hollow Man....all awesome.

I think I'm gonna check out some of his early work. Flesh + Blood sounds like a PV film.
Flesh+Blood was pretty entertaining trash.

Black Book was somewhat recent (2006) and one of his better movies. Solder of Orange (1978) is also well worth a watch. Both are Dutch WWII espionage flicks.

Seed Of Chucky is very entertaining, it's actually pretty damned funny. Amazing just how much Jon Gruden actually DOES look like Chucky & vice-versa.

The tranny apparent child of theirs is hilarious and creepy, also.

Went out on a couples date night to Shakespeare's and then that Natalie Portman Ashton Kusher movie.

I don't really remember anything about the plot. I'm sure it was the same as every other terrible romantic comedy.

Natalie Portman is so beautiful it physically hurts me to look at her.

I would concede that until the bolded. It is nothing close to a Tyler Perry movie. His movies are awful.

The King's Speech is one of those period films featuring great actors that appear around the awards season, make a stir, and then fortunately pick up a larger theater distribution so people in mid-sized Midwestern towns can see what the hype is all about. It's also one of those films that no critic can dislike (hence its astronomical rating on rottentomatoes.com), but doesn't blow anyone away, either. It is worth taking it in, though, because it has a lot of good to offer.

Most noteworthy is the acting. Colin Firth plays a stammering prince (and then upon his brother's abdication of the throne, king) of England at the dawn of World War II. He is the favorite for Best Actor Oscar, which would go along with the Golden Globe he recently achieved. His stammer is convincing, and not appearing to be forced or overdone. His speech therapist, played by Geoffery Rush, is the king's opposite: easy going, loose, and confident in his manner, but an unrefined commoner and jokester. The two go back and forth in what develops into a friendship based on respect and emotional intimacy as they share their personal histories with one another. A key scene two-thirds through the movie very nicely shows a real blossoming in the friendship when the prince recollects how he was forced to become right-handed, and have his legs braced up in order to walk more straight. (As Anthony Lane wrote, "No wonder he stammered.")

Between the two men is a remarkable character: the prince's wife. She ends up being a kind of unsung hero of the movie, easily forgotten about after a superficial viewing. Played by another acting vet, Helena Bonham Carter, she is the impetus behind the king's recovery, gently nudging him forward to do overcome his problem. Her character is a testament to the adage "Behind every successful man is a woman." She is devoted, loyal, and a comforting and positive force in the prince's life, in contrast to the pleasure-seeking Shanghai woman who steals the prince's brother's attention and responsibility of 'kinging'.

The movie is at its best when it showcases the historical context in which the prince finds himself. In one great scene, he feels the burden of his royal past peering down on him from the high-hung portraits, judging him, demanding he live up to their expectations of excellence. In another, the respect for history gushes through in regard to an important throne of Saint Edward's that he demands full regal manner towards. And in another, he watches a news-clip of his soon-to-be-enemy, Adolf Hitler, ignite his German people in a way that the prince wishes he could do, but knows he can't yet achieve. When his daughter asks him what Hitler is saying, he replies, "I don't know, but he seems to be saying it rather well."

The production, the scenery, the period cars, the architectural backdrops all give the film a great looking face, but despite those and the acting, The King's Speech is a bit underwhelming. When the two leads have a bit of a falling out, it doesn't strike the viewer as all too dramatic, and the little bits of villainy and opposition behind the character of Archbishop Lang is unnecessarily forced upon the audience. It ends up being a familiar rehash of the power hungry clergyman who plays with the political movers and shakers for his own good.

My ending is a bit too abrupt, so I'll try to think of something nice in the meantime.
